Sängershöh Pavilion with views over the Ilmenau

Highlight • Mountain Hut

At the highest point far and wide, a good 20-30 meters above the Ilmenau, stands this delightful wooden shingle-covered octagonal hut. A wooden badge shows them off with the name of the club that founded them and the year 1910. Interestingly, it was a bowling club, but apparently they also liked to sing.

Medingen Watermill

Highlight • Monument

Water mill on the Ilmenau for electricity supply and still in operation today. Very large building. Unfortunately a bit old and in places neglected.

King's Bridge over the River Ilmenau

Highlight • Bridge

If you want to drive around the city center on the northern outskirts of Bad Bevensen, this route can be taken over the Königsbrücke.
The way there is a gravel path, so not for the "fast" racing cyclists among us.
You will be rewarded with a beautiful view of the Ilmenau river. Clear, easily flowing water. It is definitely worth taking a break here.
